Potential For Unsustainable Consumption

In 2010, Greenpeace International added the Antarctic toothfish to its seafood red list. "The Greenpeace International seafood red list is a list of fish that are commonly sold in supermarkets around the world, and which have a very high risk of being sourced from unsustainable fisheries." Noting that this approach is at variance with the high score given the fishery when it was granted certification by the Marine Stewardship Council. http://www.msc.org/track-a-fishery/certified/southern-ocean/ross-sea-toothfish-longline

Famous quotes containing the words potential and/or consumption:

    Not many appreciate the ultimate power and potential usefulness of basic knowledge accumulated by obscure, unseen investigators who, in a lifetime of intensive study, may never see any practical use for their findings but who go on seeking answers to the unknown without thought of financial or practical gain.
    Eugenie Clark (b. 1922)

    Tourism, human circulation considered as consumption ... is fundamentally nothing more than the leisure of going to see what has become banal.
    Guy Debord (b. 1931)
